Out of 111 CP3 stars 56.7 percent are binaries and further 15.3 percent are probable binaries. The distribution of the periods shows a maximum around 7 days and the deficit of periods < 3 days is remarkable. Systems with periods < 15 days seem to rotate synchronously, while wider binaries do not. Photometric observations confirm these, and, in addition, point to an occurance of slow pulsation.
